Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 lb chicken wings with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 3
While wings bake, slice 1 medium onion into rings. Zest and juice 2 lemons. Mince 4 garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the onion rings. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and 0.5 tsp chili flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add baked wings to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until wings are glazed and heated through.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with extra lemon wedges if desired.
